OG12 39 !!!

In 1527 King Henry VIII sought to have his marriage to Queen Catherine annulled so as to marry Anne Boleyn.(A) so as so marry
(B) and so could be married to
(C) to be married to
(D) so that he could marry（D）
(E) in order that he would marry

请教牛人们E选项。GMAC官方解释是The conditional "would marry" is incorrect.
我想知道到底是什么意思？我查了一下好像conditional有条件句的意思。
我还想知道would和could到底有什么区别。谢谢了~

批判性接受啊！
情态动词里只有may和might可以互换。。。
would表示猜测，could表示能力。

我的理解COULD表示能不能的问题，would讨论会不会的问题，尤其针对未发生的一种假设。。。
也想听听NN的声音。
贴一道OG12-41类似考would的题
41. To develop more accurate population forecasts,
demographers have to know a great deal more than
now about the social and economic determinants of
fertility.
(A) have to know a great deal more than now about
the social and economic
(B) have to know a great deal more than they do
now about the social and economical
(C) would have to know a great deal more than they
do now about the social and economical
(D) would have to know a great deal more than they
do now about the social and economic
(E) would have to know a great deal more than now
about the social and economic

答案D.

OG 解释
Th is sentence explains a hypothetical situation
and therefore calls for a conditional—or contraryto-
fact—construction, because in order to more
accurately predict population, demographers
would have to know more than they presently
know.。。。。

D Correct. Conditional knowledge, indicated
by would have to know, is correctly compared
to current knowledge.

有理有理，这里陈述一种事实，不是“假设'"他寻求婚姻关系的接触，他就能和。。。结婚。
他就是在寻求婚姻关系的接触，而且前面没有表示hypothetical的词，如if
